Modi an ignorant prachar-shastri, derailed economy: Congress

New Delhi: In the latest war of words between the Congress and BJP in the run-up to the Gujarat polls, Congress MP Anand Sharma on Wednesday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi an “ignorant prachar-shastri” who was “less literate in economics”, leading to the country’s economy getting “derailed”.

“The Prime Minister is ignorant and disrespectful of history, less literate in economics,” Sharma said in a series of tweets.

“The economy stands derailed, jobs lost and businesses shut,” he said, blaming Modi for the slowdown.
